About the Conference

The CIO&Leader Conference is one of the largest congregation of leading CIOs in India.

The theme for this year’s conference is: The New Blueprint

Post-disruption, businesses have become more digitized. A technology blueprint is now an essential component of the overall strategic business blueprint for the CEO.

This is exactly what the CIOs will jointly author at the 23rd CIO&Leader Conference. We will leverage the collective wisdom of 100 top CIOs to bring out precise yet actionable recommendations for the CEOs to do the right technology interventions to transform their businesses.

The recommendations will be published as a sleek document that will be circulated among the 500+ CEOs of large Indian companies. The strategic advisory document will also be called The New Blueprint.

When: August 26-28, 2022

Where: Holiday Inn Resort, Goa

Now in its 23rd year, the conference is especially known for its engaging formats and its contribution towards knowledge creation and dissemination leveraging community collaboration. Previous themes include Agenda 2020, in the 2017 conference, where CIOs charted out the CIO agenda for the year 2020; Practical CIO, where participating CIOs focused on the execution excellence; and CIO Gurukul in 2021, where CIOs shared their experiences online with a broader audience.
